The University of Koblenz-Landau (Germany) is looking for participants
for a research study revolving around the job situation of
(professional) open source developers. The goal of the study is to gain
insights on the effect of developers' double commitment to the community
and the organization. The study is aimed at employed software developers
who also work with open source code and therefore are to some extent
dependant on the open source community.

The study already received support by several organizations including
the Open Source Business Foundation (OSBF), the European Commission's
Joinup project and various open source projects (e.g. Eclipse) and
experts (e.g. former Open Source Director at Oracle Gilles Gravier)!

As incentives, participants will be able to contribute to social
projects for free and can subscribe to receive the research results. For
